TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Apple bends the knee: Apple Maps, which until yesterday resisted changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, caved in an apparent attempt to avoid the White House’s evil eye.  As you may recall, an executive order from the pouting POTUS, who was miffed about Canada’s pushback on his tariff policies, led to his order to change the name (NBC News). Worth noting: Mapquest, the 30-year-old online mapping app, has now become the most popular navigation tool in the U.S. on Apple’s App Stores, per The Guardian. The app not only continues to use Lake Ontario, but brags about it according to a recent X post...The conservative Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) has compiled a list of recently departed MAGA mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt’s most stinging rebukes directed at what the site calls “liberal reporters” asking probing questions at White House press briefings. Editor Shane Harris calls it her greatest hits (cue the gagging)...The Gateway Pundit reports that police raided the apartment of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son and confiscated guns and ammunition. Abdulrahman Abdi, the roommate of Omar’s son was arrested...Book critic-in-chief: In a Truth Social post,Trump calls Going Further, Ted Cruz’s just-released book on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a “must read”...More book news: Fox News weekend host and former federal prosecutor Trey Gowdy has just published his second novel The Sound of Regret. It’s about the hunt for a ruthless killer.  The novel has already been blurbed by – surprise, surprise – Fox News pals Sean Hannity, Brian Kilmeade and Dana Perino...More arrows from the right aimed at Trump: Once again, The American Conservative slams the president on his so-called military strategy. The headline says it all: “Trump’s wars have created a disturbing military readiness crisis”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
